It’s time to bring the podcast back. Let’s affirm and resist and support and love and live. The podcast became a pretty significant part of how I practiced all those things so I’m excited to regenerate it after it’s been dormant for so long.

I’ve been terrible about setting a firm date for the return. Today is January 21, 2017. Ima say within one month there will be something I recorded (hopefully talking with someone else) available on this site. A ver si no me pega la flojera.

Hold me to it, yall! I’ve met and reconnected with many inspiring and fabulous queers of color here in Chicago! I want to talk to them all. And not just in Chicago, but all over the place.

In the meantime, check out the archive, tell your homies, your mom and dad, and your neighbors about queerandbrown.com, buy a sticker or patch, and connect with me out here:

Visual activist Zanele Muholi and journalist Lerato Dumse visited Pittsburgh last week to exhibit in the CI:13 Carnegie International and Q&B was lucky enough to be in the mix. As we showed them around town and traded stories about South Africa and the ‘burgh we learned more about Zanele’s Faces & Phases series and Inkanyiso Queer Media. This podcast is a great intro to Zanele & Lerato’s upcoming lecture at the Carnegie Museum of Art on Tues. Oct. 8th at 6:30pm. Check out our conversation and see you at the lecture.
